[COLOR="#cc8899"]My thoughts:
Depends on the jungler and the rest of the team comp, but for the most part bottom lane is the lowest priority gank for 2 reasons - it's the hardest to safely and successfully gank (due to higher ward coverage and less predictability) and due to the other lanes being much more likely to snowball off of a single kill or a moderate amount of CS advantage. They shouldn't be farming for 15 minutes, but bottom lane shouldn't be dependent on a jungler to get something done. Leona/Taric/Blitz/Alistar/Zyra are more than capable of setting up kills and Soraka/Janna very capable of defending their carry to keep a lane relatively passive.
Bottom lane takes a bit longer to actually snowball off of a kill, given how slow ADC are to grow in comparison to mid or top lane casters/bruisers. Mid lane snowballing frees them up to push the lane then gank or push then grab wraiths and top lane snowballing lets them push down the turret then roam. Bottom lane snowballing has the least impact on the early/mid game outside of dragon control.
-Edit-
That being said, I still make it a point to stop by bottom lane when I can to at least get the ADC to back up a bit and lose some experience and CS. If me being there for all of 10 seconds causes them to play more cautiously for half a minute, I've done my job. If I get them to burn a summoner's spell or two, I've exceeded my goals. Hell, it's almost better to leave them with 20% HP than to actually kill them - they tend to get really cautious, miss a lot of CS, and are still very likely to die. They end up wasting even more time that way than simply dying or recalling.[/COLOR]
